What do you mean by “too fat” for a PC?
Scratchers wont have problems knowing each block if they are used to the vertical blocks. Remember, this option is toggleable.
How would it cause problems with education?

I feel this would make coding confusing, especially for the big custom blocks and booleans like:

im not exactly sure about the rejection of the blocks' colors, but the educational reason has still been unsed by the ST to reject some suggestions. (plus, the ST may have not seen that topic)

Scratchers wont have problems knowing each block if they are used to the vertical blocks. Remember, this option is toggleable.
How would it cause problems with education?

1: too big, they would take a lot of space in the editor compared to the vertical design, and without a clear benefit.
2: new scratchers (in terms of time using scratch, not in status) could get confused.
3: educators would have problems making their material, as students could be using another block shape style, if you still dont belive me, here's something from TOLORS:

(2.3 Set the editor to look like older versions of Scratch
Some users prefer the look and feel of the Scratch 2.0 editor, and have suggested that the editor look like Scratch 2.0, but still run off of HTML5 like Scratch 3.0 does. However, this would be more complicated for educational and documentation purposes. It could be confusing if someone is trying to learn Scratch from someone who is using a completely different layout of the editor than them.

In addition, the Scratch Team changed the design for a reason: to make it easier, more intuitive, and friendlier for newcomers to use. If you dislike the Scratch 3.0 editor, you can still download the Scratch 1.4 or Scratch 2.0 offline editors.)

while this is clearly not the same suggestion, this same reason could also aply with this one, so yeah.

In case you think i'm a new scratcher because i have the “new scratcher” status, i have been here since 2016, it's just that i haven't published any projects (yet).

I_LOVE_TO_MAKE_STUFF

I don't support it because
1. #2 of #10, this led me to learn JS and it really helped because I know the functions and could visualize the blocks stacked up.
2. I am not familiar with horizontal blocks because I've never seen them
3. You won't be able to read long scripts and you can't activate giant booleans.
4. Can I see an if, else?
While I don't support it, I really like the mockup, how long did it take you to make it? Please don't take those as an offensive post, but I'm just expressing my thoughts. I encourage you to not give up though!

You could easily scroll just like for the verticle blocks.

it may be hard for beginners to understand, if you want to use these blocks than better use scratchjr

i dont support

No support. The layout of Scratch is already perfect. Also, there's a problem in the idea that other people have pointed out:

Say, you wanted to make a super long script for a game. Here's how it would normally look:

when green flag clicked
set [lives v] to (3)
clear
repeat until <(lives) = (3)>
repeat until <touching [mouse-pointer v] ?>
pen down
move (5) steps
point towards [mouse-pointer v]
end
change [lives v] by (-1)
pen up
say [You have lost a life!] for (2) secs
end
say [You lost....] for (2) secs
say [The End] for (2) secs

In horizontal blocks, it would be too long and confusing.

Some rules that aren't mentioned or clarified in the Community Guidelines or the Terms of Use:

this could happen.. would be annoying

Think! Is saying if you support a suggestion necessary? No! People can just tell by your constructive post after it. You have more freedom on your tone!
Forumers, especially new, may also get upset if you say “no support!!!” at them! They may take the whole post in a negative tone, and that makes them upset!
Instead, you can kindly say why their suggestion has cons. They will take it as “constructive criticism” and be happy. - dertermenter

Yeah… I'm changing from Semi-Support to No Support for this reason and the others mentioned above

Scrolling would be hard.
But I can make icons for all blocks in Scratch
